This study presents both the illusion and the reality, documenting the accomplishments and shortcomings of a massive provincial educational enterprise that sought to balance the perceived needs of its juvenile clients with those of the wider adult society. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollowing Egerton Ryerson's retirement as Chief Superintendent of Schools of 1876, Ontario's elementary and secondary schools were controlled at the local level by school-boards and boards of education, and at the provincial level by a Department of Education (later Ministry of Education) headed by a cabinet minister. Within such a political environment, educational decisions were influenced continually by what was regarded as appropriate policy as both the community and provincial levels. Public policies, in turn, were shaped by a combination of economic, social, and cultural influences and occasionally by the outlook and determination of individual policy makers. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the image grew of centralization, with all-powerful ministers of education and departmental officials controlling both provincial and local developments from their offices in Queen's Park, in reality a strong resevoir of community power shaped local and even provincial action for the full century of Ryerson's retirement. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn questions of pedagogy, curriculum, and educational programs, Robert Stamp takes an ideological position emphasizing the periods of innovation that challenged traditional class-room approaches, including the New Education reforms of 1890-1910, the progressivist thrust of the 1937 Ontario curriculum, and the Hall-Dennis Report of 1968. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe comprehensive study of the post-Ryerson period in Ontario education will be of importance and interest to historians, educators, and educational administrators. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 1982\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48711572652281,"sku":"9781487572617","price":63.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/osn9Ouub0g9781487572617.webp?v=1784983455","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-schools-of-ontario-1876-1976-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
